Hello all, Can anyone give me a hint on how to specify an IPv6 address in an rsync address literal - the colon character is already used to seperate the host name from the remote directory AFAICT... I get, e.g.
rsync -Cavb 3ffe:502:420:120::2:/home/cam/dev/proj 3ffe: Unknown host rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(150) Found some discussion of patches regarding IPv6 address-matching from about July so I went for the most recent CVS snapshot I could find (although to be honest and with only a superficial reading of the posts, the patches seemed to be related to matching addresses in some of the config files): rsync version 2.5.6cvs protocol version 26 Copyright (C) 1996-2002 by Andrew Tridgell and others <http://rsync.samba.org/> Capabilities: 64-bit files, socketpairs, hard links, symlinks, batchfiles, IPv6, 64-bit system inums, 64-bit internal inums Sorry if I'm missing something screamingly obvious and very grateful for any pointers... BTW, I find that setting up name lookups for our small IPv6 test network in /etc/hosts works fine in FreeBSD but not linux... a seperate problem I suppose. cheers, cam __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
